I personally think the world of Dave Ramsey but from the start never much bought into his claim of 12% annual return in the stock market. Perhaps Dave got a 12% return during the boons of the 80s and 90s, and that has colored his thinking. It shows that you can't uncritically accept financial advice from anyone
While I love dave, I see what your saying and I wish he would address this as a illegitimate point on his show instead of shooting it down as a personal attack because it makes him seem less credible to people who really should be heading his advice on other topics
@Grace88Anderson You are certainly a voice of reason. I find most Dave Ramsey followers are terribly threatened to consider that DAve may not be right on everything he says. I agree with you he is hurting his credibility by putting his ego ahead of protecting his followers from erroneous data. I find a lot of his followers have the same attitude that Dave exhibits, namely, "If you criticize Dave, you are the problem!" Sad.
I like them all for kids, but the 529 plan allows for more flexibility than the IRAs. You can retain ownership and the proceeds come out tax free.
